Deforestation - a new album of remixes of songs from my 2010 album Forest: Songs by Hirini Melbourne. Deforestation is not only about giving the Forest waiata a new dreamy life in the hands of contributors from Aotearoa, the US, Germany and Japan, but also koha to our birds; all profits from the sales of the album go to the Ulva Island Charitable Trust, caretakers of the bird sanctuary Te Wharawhara, Ulva Island.
The album artwork is by Susan Te Kahurangi King, subject of Dan Salmon's recent film Pictures of Susan. It was mastered by Ben Sinclair for Images & Sound, Auckland.
This beautifully packaged LP comes with a CD as well.
